Business Central — Extension Automatically Removed from UAT Environment

Posted on by Mian Shabir Ahmad

Hi Community,

I’m experiencing an issue in Business Central UAT environment where a custom extension automatically gets removed after some time, even though it was successfully published and installed earlier.

✅ Details:

Environment: Business Central UAT (Cloud)
Deployment method: Published via Extension Management
The extension installs and works fine initially.
After a few hours or by the next day, it disappears automatically from the UAT environment.

❓Question:
Has anyone else faced this issue where extensions automatically uninstall from the UAT environment?
What could be the possible cause — system refresh, environment sync, or a deployment policy?

Any guidance or explanation would be highly appreciated. 🙏

Extensions cannot be unpublished automatically from Production .

Version upgrades will be failed if extensions are not compatible to higher version

If user uninstall one extension dependant Extensions gets automatically uninstalled . Check the extensions were linked to each other .

Thank you so much for the clarification — that makes sense. 👍

I’ll check in the Admin Center if the UAT environment was recently updated to a higher version (for example, from 26.0 to 26.1 or 26.2). I understand now that such updates can cause custom extensions to get uninstalled automatically.

Could you please also suggest what would be the best solution or preventive approach to avoid this issue in the future — for example, if the environment gets updated to a higher version, how can we ensure that our package (extension) remains installed and doesn’t get removed?

Thanks again for your valuable guidance! 🙏

Extensions should not get automatically uninstalled . Custom Extensions in UAT environment get uninstalled when Business central application Environment has updated to higher version

Check any recent updates are set for UAT in admin center. For example 26.0 to 26.1 or 26.2 or 26.4
